Exciting PCB Design Workshop at Narasaraopet Engineering College

We are thrilled to announce that Vishishta Innovators Pvt. Ltd. recently conducted a highly successful PCB Design Workshop at Narasaraopet Engineering College on 30-31 July 2024. This two-day event was a fantastic opportunity for students to dive deep into the world of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design and fabrication, equipping them with essential skills for their future projects and careers.

Workshop Overview

The workshop was meticulously designed to cover various aspects of PCB design and fabrication. Students explored different types of PCBs, schematic design, component layout methods, and routing techniques for single-sided boards. The comprehensive curriculum also included post-processing of design and fabrication documents, ensuring that participants could independently design and fabricate their own PCBs by the end of the course.

Detailed Sessions and Hands-On Experiments

Day 1: Introduction and Basic Experiments

The first day began with an introduction to PCB electronics, covering fundamental concepts such as the importance of PCBs, advantages, and basic electronic components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors. Students were introduced to EasyEDA, a powerful PCB designing tool, and learned how to draw schematics using this software.

Participants then engaged in hands-on experiments, including:

• Modeling of mini regulated power supply board
• Making of police car lights using 555 timer
• Designing of melody Generator Circuit using um66
• Design and implementation of automatic plant watering system
• Implementation of Alcohol detection system in Vehicle using relay switch
• Implementation of touch switch based on 555 timer
• Tank Over flow alarm using Transistor switching
• Fire Alarm based Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) using Thermistor
• Rain Alarm based on NPN transistor
• Automatic Street Light using LDR sensor

Day 2: Advanced Fabrication Techniques

The second day focused on various PCB fabrication methods, including toner transfer, hand drawing, laser engraving, and photoresistive techniques. Students were guided through the detailed steps of photoresistive PCB fabrication, from layout tracing to etching using different chemicals.

In the afternoon session, students learned about soldering techniques, and component assembly. The day concluded with a technical quiz on Kahoot, where the top performers were awarded for their outstanding participation and innovative ideas.
